publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp
v Before you install optional hardware devices, make sure that the server is
working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system
starts, if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is
displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is
otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see "Solving
Problems" in the Installation Guide for diagnostic information.
v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
18
System x3200 Types 4362 and 4363: User’s Guide
v If you must start the server while the cover is removed, make sure that no one is
near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the
server.
v Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to
lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions:
– Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.
– Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
v
v
v
v
v
v
v
v
– Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy
object.
– To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up
with your leg muscles.
Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power
supplies, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates
that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and
operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the
component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on
hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing and installing a specific
hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to
perform before you remove or install the component.
When you have to access the inside of the server, you might find it easier to lay
the server on its side. Before laying the server on its side, rotate the two front
stabilizing feet a quarter turn inward toward the server, so that they do not break.
Before returning the server to an upright position, rotate the front stabilizing feet
a quarter turn outward from the server.
When you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards,
labels, and ground wires.
v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/

following requirements are met:
v Each of the drive bays has a drive and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
shield installed in it.
v There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to
work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2 in.) of open space around the front
and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper
cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before turning on the server.
Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with
the server cover removed might damage server components.
v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.
v You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.
Chapter 2. Installing optional devices
19
Working inside the server with the power on
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which could result in the
loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge
wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the
power on.
The server supports hot-plug, hot-add, and hot-swap devices and is designed to
operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is removed. Follow these
guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on.
v Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts
before working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working
inside the server.
v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.
v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
v Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall
into the server as you lean over it.
v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws,
into the server.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other electronic devices.
To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages
until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an
electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. Always use an
electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work
inside the server with the power on.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains
static electricity from the package and from your body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without
setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into
its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a
metal surface.
v
v
v
v
v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing a memory module
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that
the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install
DIMMs:
v The server supports industry-standard, 667 MHz, unbuffered PC2-5300,
double-data-rate 2 (DDR2) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) error correcting
code (ECC) memory.
v The system board contains four DIMM connectors and supports two-way memory
interleaving.
v The DIMM options that are available for the server are 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB.
The server supports a minimum of 512 MB and a maximum of 8 GB of system
memory.
v The server comes with one 512 MB DIMM or two 512 MB DIMMs installed.
Depending on the DIMM sizes that you select, the server also supports one, two
or four DIMMs. The 512 MB DIMM option kit contains one DIMM; however, the 1
GB DIMM and 2 GB option kits each contain two DIMMs.
v The amount of usable memory will be reduced depending on the system
configuration. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system
resources. To view the total amount of installed memory and the amount of
configured memory, run the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select
System Summary from the menu. For additional information, see Chapter 3,
“Configuring the server,” on page 53.
v For two-way memory interleaving, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs.
If one DIMM is installed in the DIMM 1 connector, when you install an additional
DIMM, it must be installed in the DIMM 3 connector, and it must be the same
size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMM in the DIMM 1 connector. You
can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.
If you install a second pair of DIMMs in the DIMM 2 and DIMM 4 connectors,
they do not have to be the same size, speed, type, and technology as the
DIMMs in the DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 connectors. However, the size, speed, type,
and technology of the DIMMs that you install in the DIMM 2 and DIMM 4
connectors must match each other.
v Install only 1.8 V, 240-pin, double-data-rate 2 (DDR2), 667 MHz, PC2-5300,
unbuffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error
correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest
DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification. For a list of supported
optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/
serverproven/compat/us/.
v When you restart the server after you add or remove a DIMM, the server
displays a message that the memory configuration has changed.

Installing a hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk drive
Some server models come with SAS or SATA hard disk drives. Before you install a
hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:
v The hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard
disk drives. Do not mix SAS and SATA drives
v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10
minutes without either a drive installed in each drive bay.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays.
The server hot-swap bays are connected to a SAS/SATA backplane. This
backplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the printed circuit board
behind these bays.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the
loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge

Power and signal cables for internal drives
The server uses cables to connect parallel IDE, simple-swap SATA, and SAS
devices to the power supply and to the system board. (See “System-board internal
connectors” on page 14 for the location of system-board connectors.) Review the
following information before you connect power and signal cables to internal drives:
v The drives that are preinstalled in the server come with power and signal cables
attached. If you replace any drives, remember which cable is attached to which
drive.
v When you install a drive, make sure that one of the signal cable drive connectors
is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal
cable is connected to the system board or a compatible adapter or controller that
you have installed.
v If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a master device.
v If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the
master device and the other as the subordinate device; otherwise, the server
might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The master and subordinate
designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.
v When you route a cable, make sure that it does not block the airflow to the rear
of the drives or over the microprocessor or DIMMs.
The following cables are provided:
v Power cables: Four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply.
At the end of these cables are plastic connectors that can be attached to
different drives; these connectors vary in size. Use either a four-wire power cable
or SATA power cable with SATA drives, but do not use both at the same time
(use one or the other).
v Signal cables: Signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables,
that connect parallel IDE, SATA, SAS, and diskette drives to the system board.
Two or three types of signal cables come with the server:
– IDE: The wider IDE signal cable has three connectors. One of these
connectors is attached to the drive, one is a spare, and the third is attached to
the primary or secondary IDE connector on the system board. The spare
connector can be used to connect an additional IDE drive to the server.
The CD drive is attached to an ATA 100 signal cable. ATA 100 signal cables
are color-coded. The blue connector is attached to the system board. The
black connector is attached to the master IDE device. The gray middle
connector is attached to the subordinate IDE device.
– (Optional) Diskette drive: The narrower signal cable has two connectors.
One is attached to the diskette drive, and the other is attached to the
connector (FDD1) on the system board.
– Simple-swap SATA: Simple-swap SATA models come with four SATA cables
that are already connected to the system board and the back panel at the rear
of the simple-swap drives.
– Hot-swap SATA: Hot-swap SATA models come with a single data cable that
connects the SAS/SATA controller to the hot-swap backplane. This cable
provides inherent connectivity for the four SATA drives that the server
supports. Therefore, additional cabling is not required for these drives.
– SAS: Hot-swap SAS models come with a single data cable that connects the
SAS/SATA controller to the hot-swap backplane. This cable provides inherent
connectivity for the four SAS drives that the server supports. Therefore,
additional cabling is not required for these drives.
Chapter 2. Installing optional devices

Installing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when installing an adapter.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you have to change
the switch setting or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v Read the documentation that comes with your operating system.
v The server comes with three PCI slots and two PCI Express slots on the main
system board.
v You can install full-length adapters that are included in the ServerProven® list in
slots 1 through 6 (depending on your model).
v The 32-bit slots 3, 4, and 5 support 5.0 V keyed PCI adapters; they do not
support 3.3 V keyed adapters. Universal adapters are supported in slots 3, 4,
and 5 if they are universally keyed.
v An optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be installed only in its
dedicated connector on the system board. See “System-board internal
connectors” on page 14 for the location of the connector. For additional
information, see the documentation that comes with this adapter.
v When you start the server for the first time after you install a Remote Supervisor
Adapter II, the startup process will take several minutes longer than a typical
startup.
v The optional ServeRAID-8s adapter can be installed only in PCI Express x8 slot
2.
v The server scans PCI Express x1 slot 1, PCI Express x8 slot 2, PCI slots 3, 4,
and 5 to assign system resources. Then, the server starts the PCI devices in the
following order, if you have not changed the default startup sequence: PCI
Express x1 slot 1, PCI Express x8 slot 2, PCI slot 3, PCI slot 4, and PCI slot 5.
v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/
servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the

The following notes describe the type of power supply that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when you install a power supply:
v The type and number of power supplies vary by server model. The server comes
with at least one power supply.
v Some servers come with a hot-swap power supply that supports redundant
mode. The redundant mode requires two operational hot-swap power supplies in
the server.
This procedure applies only to server models that have hot-swap power supplies. If
the server contains a non-hot-swap power supply that requires replacement, the
power supply must be replaced by a service technician.
When you remove or install a hot-swap power supply, observe the following
precautions.
Statement 8:
CAUTION:
Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following
label attached.
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any
component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside
these components. If you suspect a problem with one of these parts, contact
a service technician.

LSI Configuration Utility program
Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage redundant array
of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use this program as described in
this document.
Notes:
1. If the server is a simple-swap SATA model and you have installed an optional
IBM Simple-swap SAS/SATA Adapter Option Kit (for RAID support), you can use
the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure the simple-swap SATA
hard disk drives.
2. If you install an optional RAID controller in the server, such as the
ServeRAID-8s controller, use the configuration software that comes with the
adapter to configure the hard disk drives.
v Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to:
– Perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive
– Create an array of hard disk drives with or without a hot-spare drive
– Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives
The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports RAID arrays.
You can use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure RAID 1 (IM), RAID
1E (IME), and RAID 0 (IS) for a single pair of attached devices. If you install a
different type of RAID adapter, follow the instructions in the documentation that
comes with the adapter to view or change settings for attached devices.
In addition, you can download an LSI command-line configuration program from
http://www.ibm.com/support/.
When you are using the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage
arrays, consider the following information:
v The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports:
– Integrated Mirroring (IM) with hot-spare support (also known as RAID 1)
Use this option to create an integrated array of two disks plus an optional hot
spare. All data on the primary disk can be migrated.
– Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) with hot-spare support (also known as
RAID 1E)
Use this option to create an integrated mirror enhanced array of three to eight
disks, including an optional hot spare.
– Integrated Striping (IS) (also known as RAID 0)
Use this option to create an integrated striping array of two to eight disks. All
data on the array disk will be deleted.
v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. The drives in an array
can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all
have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.
v If you use an integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities to configure
a RAID 1 (mirrored) array after you have installed the operating system, you will
lose access to any data or applications that were previously stored on the
secondary drive of the mirrored pair.
v If you install a different type of RAID controller, see the documentation that
comes with the controller for information about viewing and changing settings for
attached devices.

Formatting a hard disk drive
Low-level formatting removes all data from the hard disk. If there is data on the disk
that you want to save, back up the hard disk before you perform this procedure.
Note: Before you format a hard disk, make sure that the disk is not part of a
mirrored pair.
To format a drive, complete the following steps:
1. From the list of adapters, select the controller (channel) for the drive that you
want to format and press Enter.
2. Select SAS Topology and press Enter.
3. Select Direct Attach Devices and press Enter.
4. To highlight the drive that you want to format, use the Up Arrow and Down
Arrow keys. To scroll left and right, use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys or
the End key. Press Alt+D.
5. To start the low-level formatting operation, select Format and press Enter.
Creating a RAID array of hard disk drives
To create a RAID array of hard disk drives, complete the following steps:
1. From the list of adapters, select the controller (channel) for the drives that you
want to mirror.
2. Select RAID Properties.
3. Select the type of array that you want to create.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the first drive in the pair; then, press the Minus
(-) or Plus (+) key to change the mirror value to Primary.
5. Continue to select the next drive using the Minus (-) or Plus (+) key until you
have all the drives for your array.
6. Press C to create the disk array.
7. Select Apply changes and exit menu to create the array.
